Price Styles

Prices in a chart can be displayed in three styles:  bar, line, and candlestick.  To change the price style, click the drop-down menu button next to the second box from the top-left and choose the style.  Click the Refresh button (or press the ENTER key).

Bar

Candlestick

A candlestock is black if the closing price is lower than the opening price.  A candlestick is white if the closing price is higher than the opening price.

Line

A line chart simply connects the closing prices from one period to the next.  This type of chart is ideal for securities with no high or low price data (i.e.,  mutual funds).
